That is one of the reasons I was looking at the XL variant of this seat...it's got 2 extra inches in the hip pocket for folks like me with a little more *** than I had in high school.
Read that thread last night before posting this one. It represents a good start.
Did the mounts you ordered actually match up with the holes in the floor? Many of the reviews on the Summit website, for example, indicate that the mounts are far from being a direct bolt up fitment.....lots of hammering, smashing, grinding and head scratching required.
No. They were universal. I used 3 of the "L" brackets on each seat and a solid block of steel for the front inner mount on each seat. I drilled and tapped a hole for those and welded a nut to the bottom of the other "L" brackets. I mocked up the frame where I wanted it to be and measured to the floor pan to get the cut lengths for the "L" brackets. You will need to plug the OEM holes for the bench seat. I used nuts and bolts and fender washers. Pretty easy job.
I’ve got those exact seats in my car, less head rests. Mine are red. You need a skinny butt for them is one thing. I also ordered additional vinyl from ProCar for the rear seat. The car sits outside between rounds at the track only during events and in 5 years now, the seat vinyl is fading big time. The rears much worse than the front.
